I also own and Bluetooth speakers that are significantly larger than the "Etekcity Rover Beats T16" and with more vigorous sound party-ready. But there are always occasions to such a compact "small" zuzulegen or use these. Take time on the couch listening to an audio book - through headphones? No. Or in the bathroom? why not. The "Etekcity Rover Beats T16" is relatively easy, but it has a useful weight, is very well made and sounds - convincingly. Here again an indication for Bass fetishists: No, no crisp bass, because you can not turn off outwit physics but only (some). If necessary, make the "Etekcity Rover T16 beats" in a corner that brings a little more pressure. Even Audi Phile will turn up their noses. Who's tinny MP3 listen regularly, should once screws on the musical templates to ever better (not "bässeren") sound to have.
But to me personally, it's much more important that voices, musical instruments and sounds are clearly conveyed. This may be the "Etekcity Rover Beats T16" relatively good! Even after prolonged listening, he does not sound boring. In particular, higher volumes it can withstand (with my pop / rock music) easily, without significant distortions. Not everyone can do Bluetooth speaker. Even using the included 3.5mm audio cable sounds sound good. Only Mono? no problem. Otherwise visually convince the very "Etekcity Rover Beats T16". I specially chose the model in red, with the elegant fluted aluminum design is really an eye-candy.
In normal operation, the speaker emits upright upwards (the "Bass" down) from, you can the T16 but also lie down, but he rolls through the buttons on the side away not tend. Speaking of keys: By means of three pushbuttons you can set start / stop, chapter forward / quieter and capital back / loud. An accurate understanding as a handsfree speaker is here of course also possible.
On delivery, the T16 I have loaded about 45 minutes, then the battery was full. Nearly 4 hours of play, I can certainly confirm liter at a lower volume. Manufacturers even 5 hours. A straight-line distance of 7m I tested without any problems, even here, up to 10m possible. A complete charging then claimed, however, about 3 hours.
Last but not least is a beautiful case with snap hook as an accessory here in order to take the T16 also without any problems.
With the "Etekcity Rover Beats T16" one acquires a fine Bluetooth speakers, which, incidentally, quite simple with each test device (MacBook, iPhone, etc.) let couple. Color not only woman capable, also I like him a lot and will use these on a regular basis. Buy / Hörtipp.
Supplement: for full 5 points it is not enough completely, because I at intervals of 10 - had occasional brief interruptions 15 minutes in Bluetooth mode. This is an absolute ko. criterion for some. I'll watch. Therefore, for the time being "only" a solid 4 points.
Addendum 22:03:15: short audio dropouts occur only sporadically if I continue to surf operator the playback device, for example, but not on all devices (iPad Air, iPod 5, iPhone 5S) - thus increasing to 5 points since. me this red part remains very good like! Because of failures of "Air Play" in the kitchen of T16 now comes also more frequently used than planned.
